Congratulations to Anousha Sohail, a Ph.D. student from the School of Energy Science and Engineering (ESE) under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Chularat Wattanakit, for the recent article in Angewandte Chemie journal.
Topic: Simultaneous Electrochemical Upgrading of Biomass and CO₂ Utilization Using Fe/Ni-Derived Carbon Nanotubes Derived from CO₂
In this work we focus on the synthesis of CO2-derived FeNi metals supported CNTs. These electrocatalysts were utilized for the simultaneous 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) production from hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) at the anode and CO2 reduction at the cathode to give carbon monoxide (CO). This approach enables high-value chemical production at mild conditions.
We also acknowlege the kind contribution fellow PhD students from ESE, Watinee Nunthakitgoson, Sorasak Klinyod, Anittha Prasertsab, Peeranat Chaipornchalerm, Wanmai Srisuwanno, and our postdoc Dr. Warot Prasanseang. We would like to specially thank Dr. Anawat Thivasasith, Dr. Somlak Ittisanronnachai from FRC and Dr. Poobodin Mano, Dr. Supawadee Namuangruk from NANOTEC.
